Noda Ogasa was frightened like chaff, his face changed greatly, and he quickly knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "General, the little one doesn't dare to lie to you, there is only so much grain in the treasury, our Zhusi country is only a small country, the farming technology is very backward, and the number of people is not very large, and it is often affected by wars, so the amount of grain in the treasury is not much, but there is still a lot of grain in the army and the palace, and the amount of these grains has not been counted, but according to small speculation, The amount of grain in these two places should not be less than the amount of grain in the treasury! ”

Noda Ogasa said cautiously, for fear that Qin Qiong would open his mouth and let the soldiers drag him out and cut him, after all, he couldn't guess what the other party was thinking in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qin Qiong silently calculated in his heart, if what Noda Ogasa said was true, then with the 90,000 stone of grain in the treasury, he estimated that he would be able to harvest at least 180,000 stone of grain and grass, which would be enough for 40,000 people to eat for a year, there were some differences between a stone of grain in the Sui and Tang dynasties and the Qin and Han dynasties, a stone of grain in the Sui Dynasty was about 110 catties, and 180,000 stone of grain was about 19.8 million catties of grain, the amount of food of ancient people was larger than that of modern people, not that they needed high energy, mainly because there was relatively little oil in ancient times, Omnivorous is also relatively less, the vegetables eaten have no oil and snacks and other non-staple foods, basically rely on eating rice or flour to provide energy, so modern people may only eat ten catties of rice a month, in ancient times, about five days to eat, a day to eat two catties of rice, the amount of food for people who do heavy physical labor is more, these people can eat two catties of rice in one meal, the amount of food is amazing!

Therefore, if it is 19.8 million catties of grain, it can probably support more than 30,000 people to eat for a year, and if the amount of their grain is limited every day, this number can be increased to 40,000 to 50,000 people.

The population of Zhusi Country is about 200,000, they only have more than 40,000 households, and the number of Zhuang Ding is probably not more than 60,000 or 70,000, and taking away their 40,000 or 50,000 is equivalent to destroying half of the country, and taking away their grain and their young and middle-aged labor force, basically the country cannot be saved.

But this is not a problem that Qin Qiong needs to consider, he doesn't care whether Zhu Siguo can keep it or not, he only thinks about what he needs, and the rest of the things are not something he needs to consider.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it, but what about your big family? These princes and ministers of your Zhusi country, do they still have some grain and money in their mansions? If you add up all their food, how much will it be? ”

Hearing that the other party hit the abacus on their private property, Noda Ogasa's face turned pale in an instant, Qin Qiong was right, they did have grain in the hands of these princes and ministers, and the land in their hands was indeed the best, so the grain output was also the highest, and there was no way to count the amount of grain stored in each of their houses, after all, no one would announce the amount of grain in their hands, if it was announced, then I was afraid that the king would be dissatisfied, They were even going to attack them, and these people obviously knew how to make a fortune in silence, so when King Izanaka ignored the government, they were wantonly annexing land, causing anger and resentment, and the number of people who lost their land rose sharply.

"Huh? Don't want to say it? ”

A playful smile appeared on Qin Qiong's face, glanced at Noda Ogasa, and then said to the person behind him, "Come on, drag this person out and cut it!" ”

He said this in Chinese, Noda Ogasa couldn't understand what he was saying, but he could see his gestures, his finger was pointing at a fat minister of Zhusiguo, and his tone sounded very harsh, Noda Ogasa's heart trembled, and just wanted to say something, he saw two wolf-like barbarian soldiers rushing over, one on one side, set up the fat official and walked outside, this official only found out at this time that he was in trouble, while screaming miserably, while trampling his feet indiscriminately, I want to get rid of the shackles of the two barbarian soldiers, but he indulges in alcohol on weekdays, and his body is just fat, where is the strength of the two soldiers, his struggle does not seem to have any effect, but the head is smashed by a soldier with the handle of a knife, honest!

And Noda Ogasa had already guessed the final result of this person, he closed his eyes in pain, his body was trembling slightly, and the other officials and guards in the palace were also talking about each other at this time, talking a lot, I don't know what happened, some people were discussing, and they secretly glanced at Noda Ogasa from time to time when they were discussing, as if they were very angry about what happened after he talked to this barbarian general.

And at this moment, there was a miserable scream outside, and after this scream came, Noda Ogasa trembled, his eyes suddenly opened, staring at the direction where the soldier left, and the others were also pale, and they all looked in the direction where the fat official was dragged away, and the expressions on everyone's faces were very bad.

Soon after, two soldiers walked back, one of them was still carrying a fat head in his hand, walked in front of this person, the soldier knelt down on one knee and presented the head to Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong nodded, gestured to the ground, the soldier looked back and forth among the group, showed them the head, and then casually threw it in an open space in front of them.

"Hiss......"

"Vomit ......"

Two different voices rang out in the crowd, obviously someone was very uncomfortable after seeing this human head, and the stomach reacted, while some people felt a cold neck and gasped after seeing this human head!

"How about it, Prime Minister Noda, are you still willing to say it at this time? If you don't want to say it......"

Qin Qiong's words were only general, but the weird smile in his eyes was even more eerie and terrifying.

Noda Ogasa shivered all over, he was like a chicken pecking rice, desperately sticking his head on the ground, and said intermittently: "Will ...... Checkmate...... Small...... Small...... Would you like to say ...... Small...... Anything...... I am willing to say! ”

Qin Qiong snorted heavily, "I knew now, why bother at the beginning, it's really cheap, asking for hardship!" ”

"Yes, yes, the general taught me!"

Noda Ogasa tried to keep himself on his knees straight, desperately suppressing the tremors of his body caused by the fear in his heart.

After a long while, he spoke, "The little ones are ...... I don't know how much grain there is in other people's homes, but these things can probably be inferred from the number of acres of their fields, the small family has 150,000 acres of fertile land, and this year's family has 30,000 stone of grain, and if you infer it, the grain in the hands of other princes and ministers adds up, about 120,000 stone......

Qin Qiong was overjoyed in her heart, but at the same time, she was furious in her heart.

He was glad that if he really did what Noda Ogasa said, he would be able to get 150,000 koku of grain again, plus the 180,000 koku of grain he had obtained before, there would be a total of more than 300,000 koku of grain, which was enough for him to bring back 50,000 koku, and with these 50,000 young men, his army would be greatly expanded, and he would have a lot of confidence in attacking Baekje next.

And what makes him angry is that the grain reserves in a country's treasury are not as much as the food in the homes of these princes and ministers, this kind of thing is not only like this in Zhusi country, but also in Dasui? So as soon as he thought of this, he was very angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to cut down all these people and the moths of these countries one by one at this time!

But at this time, he still suppressed the anger in his heart, these people should be kept for now, maybe it will be useful, if you really want to kill them, wait until all the food and property in each mansion have been searched, and then it will not be too late to kill them.

Just as Qin Qiong was about to send soldiers to the homes of these princes and ministers, a soldier hurried over.

"Report! General, a large army is approaching us thirty miles outside the city! ”

Qin Qiong's brows furrowed slightly after hearing this, an army? Whose army is this, the population of Zhusi Country is only 200,000, and the main army is in this city, how can there be an army outside?

"How many soldiers are there? Are there any cavalry? ”

The terrain in this area of Zhusi Country is relatively open, which is more suitable for cavalry operations, and this time the Sui army went out to fight, bringing a total of 20,000 horses, but only 2,000 cavalry, not that they don't want to bring more, the main reason is that war horses are inconvenient to carry, and war horses are also easy to get sick at sea, war horses belong to precious war resources, of course, Jeju Island does not produce horses, so horses have to be purchased from outside, mainly from the Central Plains, so the price is expensive, so Qin Qiong is also very cautious.

If there are cavalry in this army, then the problem is more troublesome, but if this army does not have cavalry, then the matter is much simpler, although there are not many cavalry in the Sui army, but the cavalry of 2,000 people, even if the other party comes with 20,000 people, if they encounter it in such a flat and open place, it will still be destroyed and destroyed.

"The enemy army numbered about 20,000 people, there was no cavalry, it was all infantry!"

The soldier's words made the corners of Qin Qiong's mouth rise slightly, and he sneered in his heart, 20,000 people? There are no cavalry, do you dare to run over like this to find your own trouble? It's really unexpected, to be honest, the previous battle ended too quickly, and before he had time to build the city, Luo Chengcheng had already taken down this city, so he didn't have a chance to see the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom, after all, at this time they just plundered a Zhusi country, listening to that Noda Ogasa, there are a total of four countries in this place called Kyushu Island, in addition to their Zhusi country, there are Feng country, Fei country, and Kumazeng country.

He grabbed so much food and people on the side of Zhusi country, this is actually a little little, it is not easy to come out once, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, if it is not much harvest, then this operation is a loss, and the sailing adventure actually has to pay a lot of risk, for example, they came this time, although they did not encounter strong winds and waves, but there were still several ships that hit the reef and sank, and the sinking of these ships made their adventure pay a certain price, and also suffered some losses of personnel, If you don't gain much this time, then you may not have the idea of continuing to take risks next time.

Thinking of this, Qin Qiong made up his mind to use this battle to test the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom, if their combat effectiveness is very strong, then they will return home after looting the Zhusi Kingdom, if their combat effectiveness is really too unbearable, then simply do not do two things, directly do a few more votes, grab a few more countries, and always get a lot of things.

Noda Ogasa was still crying at this time, feeling sad that the property he had worked hard to save all his life was snatched away in an instant, and he didn't pay attention to the conversation between the soldier who ran over in a hurry and Qin Qiong before, even if he paid attention, he couldn't understand it, they spoke Chinese, and he didn't know Chinese.

"Prime Minister Noda, it seems that there is an army of yours outside, and the number seems to be more than 20,000 people!"

Qin Qiong said to Noda Ogasa with an indifferent expression, and after finishing speaking, he looked at him playfully, as if he wanted to see how he reacted.

Sure enough, after Noda Ogasa heard the news, a hint of ecstasy flashed on his face, but he immediately realized his current situation, this joy could not be too obvious, so he immediately covered up this expression, but all this still couldn't escape Qin Qiong's eyes, but he didn't say anything, anyone who was in a desperate situation, when he found a glimmer of hope, he would have this expression, he was not surprised.

"Doesn't Prime Minister Noda want to ask, which country is this army coming from? Or did you already know? ”

Being stared at by the other party's eyes, a trace of panic appeared on Noda Ogasa's face, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and sweat began to appear in his palms, he felt like he was being targeted by a demon, as long as his performance was slightly wrong, the other party could kill him at any time.

"General, you want to ask me, which country does this army belong to?"

Noda Ogasa took a deep breath, tried to stabilize his mind as much as possible, and said lightly.

Qin Qiong smiled slightly, shook her head, and said softly, "Why should I know? ”

Noda Ogasa was a little stunned, and looked up at Qin Qiong strangely, Qin Qiong was tall, Noda Ogasa had always lowered his head before, so he didn't notice it, at this time he suddenly raised his head, but found that he could only look up at each other, and the height difference between the two sides made him feel depressed.

"I don't need to know who they are and where they came from, because they all have to die, what's the point of asking about the identity of a bunch of dead people?" (To be continued.) )
